  • Patent number: 10211700
    Abstract: The servo motor includes a casing, a stator, a rotor and a circuit board. The casing has a hollow body, a first bearing and a second bearing. The hollow body is mounted between the first bearing and the second bearing. The stator is disposed inside the hollow body, and surrounds an axial hollow portion. The rotor is disposed inside the stator. A shaft passes through the rotor in an axial direction, and two ends of the shaft are respectively mounted on the first bearing and the second bearing. The circuit board is disposed inside the hollow body and interposed between the stator and the first bearing, the periphery of the circuit board has a plurality of solder pads electrically connected to the stator. An outer surface of the circuit board has a protection layer, which covers the region of the solder pads near the outer edge of the periphery.

  • Patent number: 8056094
    Abstract: An optical disc drive including an outer casing, a supporting base, a main shaft motor and a position-limiting element is provided. The outer casing has an optical disc entry. The supporting base is disposed in the outer casing. The main shaft motor is disposed on the supporting base. The position-limiting element has a first pivot portion, a position-limiting part and a second pivot portion located between the first pivot portion and the position-limiting part. The first pivot portion is connected to the supporting base, and the position-limiting element is able to be swung about the second pivot serving as a fulcrum. When the supporting base is located at an upper position, the position-limiting part is located at a first position, and when the supporting base is located at a lower position, the position-limiting part is located at a second position, wherein the first position is under the second position.
